Didn't Klefbom get inured right around this same time last year, and that's when the nose dive in the standings began? Let's hope this year is different in every way. I feel that he will be back. If it were more serious I think something would have come out by now.

We seem screwed either way. There are just too many bad things happening right now.

What exactly is going good for the team?

From the top down everyone is pretty much failing.

Buffalo desperate for a win....Oil will never have multiple wins in a row again....7-3 Sabres, McDavid held pointless, thread on main talking about how Dahlin or some other schmuck is so good because he shut down McDavid.

There was a rumor he crack/broke some toes in Ottawa yet, so who the hell knows. Maybe they are all broken now.

agreed. we are in for one hell of a rage-filled second half of the season

Holland is going hibernate all through the trade deadline it seems

Even if he does hibernate, which I don't think he should this team needs to be better.

The one thing we haven't had since the early 00's is a team that plays 60 minutes. Maybe those teams with Gator, Moreau, Staios etc.. didn't have the most skill, but they played hard. I know it's tough on certain guys as they are playing far too much, but there is still a lot of other guys that aren't playing 100% every shift. Heck 60% would be an improvement.

What is this post? Is this Cyclone's burner account?

What's going good:

We won last game
We're in a playoff spot
McDavid is healthy
Draisaitl is healthy
We're getting some bottom 6 scoring
We have the best PP%
We have the 5th best PK%
We're one of only 2 teams that have a PP% and PK% in the top 5
Outside of potentially Klefbom and Benning, our D is healthy
Ethan Bear
Did I mention we're in a playoff spot on January 1?

As much as it may pain you and every other person that seems to evoke the personality and rhetoric of Chicken Little, there is enough to be positive about as there is to be negative.

I'll eat my crow if we take a nosedive, but I have a feeling that isn't gonna be happening and we're going to be in it all season with us finishing either as the 2nd WC or 3rd in the division. After that? Well, who cares, playoffs weren't expected this year, if we get wrecked in the WCQF who cares?

Y'all need to lighten up.

I want to shout out to klefbom for being such a champ.
I want to thank Tippett for not playing Gagner with nuge and khaira.
I think he is riding the hot nuge train, so this actually may work.

Klefbom practising?!

Drai - Nuge - Yam


Huge improvement from expecting a struggling Drai to carry Nygard and Yama. This shared responsibility is at least fair, a more plausible line, and could work. Nuge has done a decent job this season hitting Drai and anticipating where he is and vice versa.

Nuge is probably one of the biggest keys to the second half of the season. If he can't get going 5 on 5 we are in a lot of trouble. There aren't a lot of guys on the roster that can lower McDavid and LD's time, he can be that guy.

Young Jon Willis. Guess it's an inside joke. I've said too much already.
Oh that is right. I think Lowetide bugs him from time to time about that.

I was just shocked that he was the guy reporting lines.

Edit: Although Lowetide calls everyone young

Would like to see this team be able to put the pedal down for a full 60. Hasn’t happened much at all this season.
